My iPhone is set to immediately alert me when I wander too far from the bag, or someone walks off with it. It comes with a hefty price tag ($150) though, so you may want to mark it as your own. I made a little velcro-backed nameplate which I cut out of a scrap piece of zinc and mounted a custom sticker to for mine (see the video for details). Photos and video are an invaluable resource and I’ll often refer back to them as I’m writing my field report, or reviewing payment requisitions to verify the stage of completion of the work.

It’s often a failed experiment that pushes the work in a new, unexpected direction. Heading to MidJourney without an idea or a concept guiding your efforts means you’ll likely spend a lot of time creating seductive images of buildings that have no place in a design process. I head to Midjourney to solve a problem I had before heading to Midjourney which is quite different than using it to cycle through an averaging of the imagery that the algorithm has ingested. The lattice shell creates the simple form and permits natural light and a connection to the outdoors, while the lofted ceilings and open floor plan create a sense of spaciousness and flexibility.

The building is comprised of three volumes, supported by a heavy timber frame, and set upon a terraced ground plane that closely follows the existing topography. Linking the volumes, the circulation path is highlighted by large cuts in the skin of the building. These cuts are infilled with a wood framed curtainwall of glass offset from the syncopated structural grid. Orienting the sheds on an east-west axis provided us with a large south flank to gather daylight.
Interior Design with an Architect's Eye: My Process
So, although I look at my old tools with some fondness, they're nothing that I've used in my 30 years of practice. I’m sure I don’t need any more boxes or trays to store or organize things in, I just can’t seem to help myself. Ten years ago I wrote my first blog post from a drafting table set in the corner of my living room. The Japanese call this Kaizen, a practice of making continuous, incremental improvements in processes, products, and services. The goal is to enhance efficiency, quality, and overall performance gradually over time.

I find using a camera improves my visual acuity, it sees things in a way I’m not able. We're based in Los Angeles County, a bustling hub for events ranging from small-scale community gatherings to grand festivals and corporate events. Given our strategic location, we've had the privilege of supplying these 30x40 tents for diverse functions.

What I discovered as I blurred the boundary has made the past ten years feel more like play than work. Work life integration is a privilege; I couldn’t imagine practice any other way. Instead of making major changes every January, I keep the word Kaizen at the top of my Notion dashboard and it’s become a guiding principle for the business. Think of all the small improvements you can make each week and implement a daily routine for checking them off your list. For those contemplating the cost equation, you'll find that renting a 30x40 tent can often rival the price of purchasing a custom tent. This flexibility allows our clients to weigh their options and decide the best route for their specific needs.

I’m always glad to have a visual reminder of everything behind a wall finish - blocking, plumbing, gas lines - once it’s covered up. It has a clean, low-profile, semi-rigid exterior shell covered in MOLLE webbing which gives it a tactical vibe and I picked up a bag of MOLLE clips to fasten things to it as-needed. Watch the video to see how I’ve been experimenting with it in my practice. Below that is a task table with a filtered view of the tasks related only to this project. “Sketching is thinking,” as they say and initial concept development (for me) always happens in my sketchbook.
DIGITAL DRAWING TEMPLATES
As principal of his eponymous firm, Ryan has a gift for translating luxury into exquisitely designed spaces. Studying adjacent disciplines has always yielded new perspectives and inspiration for my own creative work so I jumped at the chance to serve as a juror for this year's APA Architectural Photography Competition. My Studio “shed” is featured alongside dozens of others in a new book, “Work from Shed” by Hoxton Mini Press (2022, 250p). It’s an inspiring, beautifully curated collection of inventive solutions and repurposing of the humble garden shed (it’s also a carbon neutral book). As we look at the floor plan there are natural places that might be more like the forest, more sheltering, darker, and lower in scale. And then there are the main living spaces which are larger, brighter with taller ceilings and sweeping views.
For aerial photography, terrain mapping, inspecting hard to reach places, and social posts I like having a drone with me. I still use the Gen 1 Mavic Pro from DJI, but if I were buying new today, I’d opt for the new Mavic Mini for its (even) smaller form factor and because it includes a controller. My current setup needs both a dedicated controller and an iPhone connection to fly.
The lower shelves delivered, they were functional and accessible, but the upper shelves disappointed. Our range hood was chosen for price and esthetics - in that order - over brand recognition (ahem, Eurohoods?) It made a lot of noise but that was about it. Cooking grease settled on the upper reaches ensuring the dishes we used less frequently needed washing before every use.
The large compartment has a zippered pocket on each side and two pop-out pockets at each end. The molded EVA bottom stands on its own so it’s easy to load and unload and the puncture resistant shell is ultra-rugged and, because it’s completely waterproof, I can hose it out after use. When I’m camping, I can use it to haul water from a stream and the intermediate cross bars gives you different carrying options which is especially nice with heavier loads. They’ve even thought of details like a closure hook to keep larger items contained. Henry's story is part of a growing trend of young architects prioritizing work-life balance and earning more. Designing a creative life of your own making is an unattainable ideal, a dream never realized.
Slatted aluminium barn doors, designed with the help of a local boat-builder, screen the glazed double doors on the east side of the studio. Upgrading the appliances and addressing the open shelving were related problems and our next priority. My wife and I have never cared for overhead cabinetry so, when we were planning dish storage we opted for open shelving. We thought at the time this would be a timeless, affordable and practical solution.
